Thanks guys! (OAD PM me!)

 

Okay so here is where I am. Just the podium to finish off and we are there! I have a coat of grey primer on the model now and I have mixed the green/bronze colour to spray on top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never set out to sell this piece, just to build it to complete my set. I have no experience of building to sell and I have, at times, Been overwhelmed by this project. Now, however, I Iook at this and I can't believe that I made this. No computers, no 3D printers and no injection moulds etc. Just my craft knife and my rule! I'm happy with how this is coming together and I know that this is going to make a lot of people happy.

Back soon!

 

 

Ya let me just say that you did one hell of a job with this project.  You have skills..

Oh having a printer does not make the work easier if anything it is more work. After you build your model and make sure that it has no holes in it you have to put it all together. looking back on the scratch builds I have done 3d is more work.

Yes, Sir!!! AMAZIIIING!

[Atlanthia]

Thank you, chaps!
I have finally managed to get some finishing paint on. Here is how it looks.







There are a few tiny finishing parts to cast and fit but on the whole it is finally ready. If you are still up for one of these in kit form, please P.M. Me. I am not holding anyone to the list we made as I understand how people's circumstances can and have in fact changed.
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Amazing. I am still in, I will need to find a deeper shelf for it! Will you advise on colours you used for it?

[LocutusOfTuborg]

Still in, too.

Wow, thank you guys!!!

Ive just been reliably informed that the great Doug Drexler himself has given my helm the thumbs up WOOHOO!

[Daysleeper]

Wow! What did he say? How did you learn about that?

[Atlanthia]

How did I miss your post, Daysleeper!!!??? Sorry, Mate!
I have a friend on another forum who knows him and he showed him the build thread. He says that Doug said, "Wow! That's fantastic!"
I'm still stoked about it!

Also, the first of the helms were shipped today! It's been a long time coming....

My absolute pleasure, Mate

[VorlonKosh]

I can't wait!  This will be great!  

Have you considered finishing the the 2009 bridge?

[Matty-lad]

Ok, mine arrived today and it is amazing. I can't recommend this enough. I'll start posting pics when I get a figure out of storage to go with it.

[Tiberius]

Did I miss my billing info? Or do I need to ask, PM?

[Atlanthia]

Dont worry Bud' just PM me your mailing address so i can calculate the shipping for you and say when you want it shipped and i will hold it for you until then.

[Atlanthia]

Well, after nearly two years, I can finally bring the curtain down on this build. it's been a rocky road but I got there in the end!
Here are the pics of the finished piece.















Just so everyone is aware, I have changed the deal somewhat. The price remains at $100 US plus shipping but I will now be constructing all the models and painting them for no extra cost, unless asked otherwise. Hope you enjoyed the thread and I look forward to your comments/critiques!

Looks great!!! Are the panels lit up or just stickers? You really have done a superior job on it.

[Atlanthia]

Thanks, John. The panels are printed but the centre screen on this one is an actual working screen. Here's a link to a video so you can see it in action. I have already converted T'pol's station screen as well and that just leaves Reed's to do.......plus all the ones on the back walls. Oh and the plotting table.......oh bugger.....
